This is the most heavenly singing and dancing I have ever witnessed! How I wish I had grown up with such a sacred culture to nourish my heart.
Today would be my grandmother's 104th birthday. She was born in Hawaii in 1917, the year that Queen Lili passed away. Our family has 140 years of history in Hawaii, and I am beyond grateful and proud to be from such a beautiful culture so full of love and warmth. My grandmother embodied and epitomized the Aloha spirit, and taught me so much about Ohana, love, generosity and kindness; a queen in her own right. #LouiseOkuBorges #JimmyBorges #CarolyneBorges #CynthiaBorges #RestInParadise
My dad is Hawaiian and my mom haole and we grew up in the mainland. But we were raised Hawaiian. This. The aloha and grace of our queen to compose a song for a peer. She could've just given her a seashell. Some kukui nuts. Instead she gives a masterpiece....because that's who she and we are. You can feel her greatness and goodwill in the mele, man, it just envelopes you. I know I'm Hawaiian when I hear it. And the hula, Weldon and the boys are on point!! One of my all time fav jamz, for sure.
Each time I watch this I'm in tears. My heart is still in Hawaii. Warmest greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I too am in tears. Only if i could win the lotto.I would die in Hawaii, From the cool of Canada
@@TheMrpiggyboy Hawaii is to live and enjoy with all senses not to die. Hopefully you are healthy 🤗 let me know
Stay Hula Strong.
I came onto RUclips to catch up on some political news, but this video caught my eye instead as I've seen Weldon perform b4.
I didn't know I was gonna start frickin crying tho!!! .So beautiful....LOVE OUR HAWAI'I NEI!! 😢🙏♥️
Thank you. Always a special connection between Hawaiians and Austrians.
Those of you with the thumbs down obviously do not have a culture therefore you have no meaning like us who do.We`pray that you find yourselves more so find your hearts and respect God Bless..
Beautifull song sang with tenderness & on top of that
Gracefull dancers which this song complete,warm greetings from Holland.
Nice to see Hawaiians (my fellow Poly's) rocking their culture, traditions and heritage today never stop it 🇳🇿🇹🇴🇨🇰🇫🇯. Poly pride..
"WE", Technically the largest nation in the world in area
We do not connect by lands mountains valleys canyons,
We connect thru Water, Culture and Mana.
How soothing... The Hawaiian People must be the most relaxed people on the Planet! That was lovely, just lovely!
The place, the music, the dance - all so incredibly beautiful it fills the heart with joy and love.
The very short mini not so beautiful.
Hawaii is a magical place.......Aloha means so many things....My 29 years there went so very quickly but touched my soul every single day .....I miss my friends, family and all the loving, caring do for all people of Hawaii who touched my heart .....Mahalo Nui Loa....Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving me back....... Love you always......And always.....The Wonder of You ...

Why did you leave Hawaii?
No one, would ever, say: magical? Insanity man.
Since I visited Hawaii for the first time in 2018, every year I go visit. “Hawaii is a magical place.” Indeed! Hoping to go back again!
I see full of positve energy,
I wish one day visit Hawaii.
Big hug to all of you, from 🇹🇱 East Timor Island.
I cried tears coming down my cheeks.. when I see this.. it is sort of unexplainable just like Hawaii.. it cannot be explained.. every time I see it I start crying..
I'm here 2022 so beautiful and graceful 😘 Aloha from Australia
So beautiful, 1998 I spent 6 months in Hawaii.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, POETIC MOVEMENTS AND SUCH GRACE. WONDERFUL SINGER AND MUSIC TOO! THANK YOU

There is something inexplicable with words, something that reaches the heart... Sweetness and Melancholy for a place where I have never been but to which I feel I belong. Love from Italy

Beautiful pushing our Island 🌴 Traditions especially through Queen Liliuokalani ❤️
Beautiful music and beautiful people. What a lovely setting. ❤
Bless your souls for this beautiful song, I do not understand for I am from south Africa. Love everything about it!!!!!! Thank you for sharing it with the rest of the world!
Fortunately you do not need to understand the music. Just watch the dance and observe the smiles all around. Hawaii, a most beautiful paradise. Family is everything.
Lost in a world without My Dad R.I.P. Rudy van Dalm one of the pedal steel guitar player with the album greetings from Hawaii "' Aloha to You '", heard the song Hawaiian wedding song. A style of music that is unique , alive and vibrant. When his golden voice begins to flow his audience BEGINS TO SENSE THAT IS IN THE PRESENCE OF A MAN WHO HAS MASTERED HIS MUSIC. Miss you Dad !!! I am blessing with all your wonderful songs Dad. "" I STILL LOVE YOU.""
Dad this is for you !!!!!!
Never heard this song (in this life) but the beauty of the song and the dance had me sobbing. Thanks so much.
Love this song and Weldon's performance with the exceptional (and very famous) dancers. [FYI: The mother, Kapua Dalire-Moe, is a former Miss Aloha Hula (as well as her 2 younger sisters) -- it's like the Miss Universe of hula. Kapua is a kumu hula (hula teacher) and runs a very prestigious halau (hula dance academy) that was established by her mother, Aloha Dalire (the very first Miss Aloha Hula, crowned in 1971). Kapua's daughter, Kili, is a serious contender for the title of Miss Aloha Hula at the next annual Merrie Monarch Festival in 2021 (the 2020 festival was cancelled due to pandemic). ] Thanks for sharing this beautiful performance. Mahalo nui loa.
Love kili so beautiful can't wait to see her perform at the next Merri Monarch Festival
This is great. I grad Kailua High in 1969 and so many of our wonderful musicians and dancers are passing when very young… MORE LOVE, less da-kine bad stuff.
They are both so beautiful and graceful. Thank you for this information.

Soy mexicano pero me gustaría casarme con una nativa hawaiana.
So moving and touching. My wife and I are going back to Hawaii on Monday, Sept 10th. It's my 20th trip back and just can't get enough of Aloha..if you haven't heard, this feeling of Aloha is real just as soon as you get off the plane and I live in South Carolina yet my heritage has people believing I am Hawaiian. Aloha to all...
You have a Hawaiian heart.
elchicano65 My wife and I go back every year. The drums of the island call us back!
Beautiful!
My family and I have taken 12 trips and hope to go back this year! I totally agree with you about the spirit of Aloha! Every time we return I feel like I'm coming home. I love the culture, the people and the islands! My favorite place in the world.
I am not the only one who wants to go back to Hawaii every year. ;) My family and I fell in love with Hawaii.
Bello... The music very sweet and well executed. The dance magnificant. Aloha from Panama Latin America. Keep your roots
Just beautiful! Gorgeous Amazing Wonderful Joyous!! Thank you for sharing! If we all did this with our cultures we’d be so much happier!!
I would love to have been there to see the continuity of the Hula without all the cuts and closeups. The full movement is so beautiful. I think this song as done by Weldon and his group is one of the most beautiful of all time.
I can never tire watching these beautiful women hula to the enchanting voice of Weldon Kekauoha. Mahalo Piha!
One of my all time Hawaiian favor songs. Mother and daughter beautiful🧡🧡🧡 Aloha and Ofa atu
I am in tears, this is so moving and stunning, beautiful melodies and dancing, aloha iā ʻoukou a pau
My 8 month year old son will stop crying when listening and watching this. My whole Ohana watches this daily. Mahalo all involved in creating and sharing this video. 🙏
The music and all singers are incredibly WONDERFUL, my FAVORITE music to listen to the sweetness of voices coming together,,special people HAWAIIANS
Are so wonderful and blessed by God,,Thank you your all in my heart
Always,,God bless ,,,,Margie from Daytona Beach,FLORIDA,,
Wow, thats so beautiful both music and performance.
Awesome, great music, great singing and great dancing. A beautiful and gracious song by the Queen of Hawaii. Mahalo from Vancouver, BC.
I have watched this so many times, just beautiful.
It's beautiful. Conveys a special grace that touches everyone. Makes you realize how reach the culture really is.
Beautiful ❤❤I wish the dancer had dressed in a long white hula dress as the queen would have been so proud overlooking her beautiful motions and meaningful expressions…love this song 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful ...As a mixed raced girl born in 1956 my Mother told me wonderful stories that I was named after a Hawaiian Queen.At the time I knew i couldn't share stories with friends.Now I feel very humble and proud of the name my Mother gifted me in a very racist time.
Wait. What was racist? Idk I've always loved Hawaiian music+hula+culture....
God made you and named you (through your mother) Leilani. Always be proud as you are one of God's creations.
Wow, That truly touched my soul. Sung with such feeling and melodic playing, in a lovely location, and danced with elegance, grace, and fluidity. Simply beautiful.
Very, Very Beautiful. The Song, Music, Singing, Dancing and the People.
Thank You.
Wow! The mother dances so effortlessly. Beautiful!
One the best renditions I've heard, Great job Bradah Weldon and group. I listen to it all the time. Hoping one day my daughter will learn to dance to this song. Always gives me goose bumps, as to how this song was written and presented to Queen Victoria for the Jubillee celebration during that time and era.
To be touched by the Hawaiian spirit soul to soul ... leaves me without words, Thank you for all of who you are for sharing the true of Aloha.
Baltic652 yup thank you to those for sure. 🙏🏾
It's really odd - I'm not Hawaiian, I live in Seattle - but when I watch this I get really, really choked up and it brings tears to my eyes....and I have no idea why.... It's very beautiful. I've only been to Hawaii once - but love it's people and traditions (I'm not a beach/heat person).
Most Beautiful been to Hawaii all the Island love every Minute of it Mahalo
That was so Beautiful . IN this time of troubles . It lift's the spirit and the Heart Thanks . From Vancouver island BC Canada .
This is really special. I started crying for real when the second young lady began dancing and the movements were so perfectly coordinated. Lovely voices, harmonies so smooth, the appreciative audience that knew all the words. Thank you.
Mother and daughter how beautiful

Graceful and so beautiful. What a rich voice the gentleman has. Thank you so much for sharing. Stay blessed.
I am Indonesian who lives in the US. I love Hawaiian music, my uncle who passed away used to be play Hawaiian music in Indonesian with Hawaiian Senior which was popular in Indonesia where travelled in in the Netherlands with his group in 70’s-80’s. Now, I am learning how to play Ukulele.
Ahh... so u must be Moluccan right? Coz so many moluccans play Hawaiian lap steel and uke as well.
@@lehharoijtahalele4522 yes, my grand father from my mother side is Moluccan and Dutch. He played guitar and saxophone. Also, I took class Ukulele class in the music school a couple years ago. Now I can play Uke and sing a long with it. And I will be visiting Hawaii in two weeks.
Love island dancing especially out of the public eye, then it assumes it's authentic purpose.
It's neat how alot of the audience take on that analytical look that is critically assessing the movements of the dance and dancers.
The golden light. Love from Scotland 2020
This is so soothing and beautiful...love it❤🌸🌸
As one musician to another ....beautiful. Music is Life. 🎸🎶
I have no idea what the words meant but, this brought me to tears. Beautiful voice, beautiful and graceful mother-daughter dancers. Love so much. ❤️

Hawaiian culture seems so inclusive and positive. It gives off "I SEE YOU & ACKNOWLEDGE YOU" ✨ I pray I get to visit Hawaii one day and witness the beautiful people, their energy, culture, music & everything 💕
Doesn't have to be inclusive

I hope one day I can afford to take my family to this place. Always wanted to visit Hawaii
My life's route led me to live in Florida, been here for 31 years now, but my heart and soul will always lead me back Home!! OAHU, HAWAI'I !!
I love this melody and the language. I don't really know the meaning but I can sense the culture and energy of this song. It also reminds me to my ancient language, that almost forgotten. I'm from Maluku Islands (molo’uku), Indonesia🇮🇩. It means that I'm also a pacific islander (melanesian). We have bounch of similarities in language, tradition, people as all pacific islanders.🖤
Ehhh...ketemu orang indonesia kk dong dari maluku bagian mana ni
Austronesian cousins :)
Bt juga senang dengar lagu ini. Lagu ini dicipta oleh Ratu Hawaii waktu Ratu Inggeris 50 tahun jubileum tahun 1887. Banyk kepala2 Negara diundang termasuk Hawaii krn di pejajah ole negara Inggeris. Biar dong dijajah tp dong setia makany lagu kehormatan ini untk ratu Inggeris. Ratu Hawaii ini ahirny di kasi turun ole Amerika. Ceritera sedih paskali bung..
As a 14yrold arrived in AOTEAROA NZ 50pls yrs ago was told we are Maoris at school but I have always maintain that my people's true identity is Polynesians (Porinetia)our language but some Maori's Wahines women's I ask who called you Maori's their answer's is the pakeha white people and now we been hearing that even the Aborigines are being labeled as Maori's too!!!!! as well as other Polynesians in the Pacific Ocean I ask who are these race to dictate they are always right and we are dumb and we don't know who we are and my children ask about their own identity even the Cook Island our people has been trying to tell the rest of our Island people to get rid of that name because what his men did to our women folks an we can imagine our men try to stop them an was killed they are nothing but evil dogs in my belief so when I learnt what happened to Cook in Hawaii an I love that name King Kamehameha an I said what goes around must come around and God knows an seen All the evils his men did Believe in our Creator all evils will not end until JESUS our Saviour comes an calls us by our name only people who has done evil will not enter the Kingdom of God MaHalo my Brother's an Sister's
Instant tears..... Beautiful in every way. The music, the voices, the hula and the people of Hawaii. My roots are in Dutch clay, but otherwise I feel connected to your precious Islands. One day I hope to set foot on your land. Love from the Netherlands to Hawaii.
